Last week, Secretary Kristi Noem announced that the Department of Homeland Security would be dispatching approximately 2,000 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to Minnesota.

This morning, Gov. Tim Walz announced that he no longer intends to run for governor in 2026, citing a need to be present as governor and not spend his time campaigning.

In what has become a record setting year for special elections, two additional primary elections were held last week for seats in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
